DON’T Give Up, DON’T Ever Give Up
“we are starting the Jimmy V Foundation for Cancer Research. And it’s motto is ‘Don’t give up, don’t ever give up.’ That’s what I’m going to try to do every minute that I have left. I will thank God for the day and the moment I have. If you see me, smile and give me…

Today is the day. Over the last year, older well privileged have scouted and scoured the training of teenagers. They have analyzed every little strength and weakness to the point of knowing exactly what each person is capable of.

A few days back I came across this post on Reddit. It’s a picture of a receipt from an Applebee’s by a waitress (the poster was actually not the waitress stiffed by this Pastor). Immediately on seeing it, I realized one thing that we should not do: DON’T Be a Bad Tipper Being a bad tipper has…

Today, Lance Armstrong may or may not be shown admitting to doping in his incredible run of 7 straight Tour de France wins. If you believe the reports, he will end the run of his defense against such allegations and finally come clean about really happened. But I keep thinking one thing, why does it…

I think everyone has a point in time where they have an imaginary friend. I know I had that stage shortly when I was younger, and it seems everyone goes through it and has at least one imaginary friend (whether imaginary or inanimate is irrelevant, just an imaginary persona).
